The Ebola patient in Dallas has died.

He is dead.

While I have sympathy for his family, the reality is much more stark.  

This man brought a deadly infection into the United States and it is entirely possible that this is only the first of many people that will die.  Dallas County and City officials were barely able to deal with one patient.  What happens if 10 more suddenly start showing symptoms?

This first act is over.  The rest of the play goes on.
